Verizon’s LTE Trials Exceed Expectations

“Verizon Wireless today disclosed that wireless data speeds in Long Term Evolution field trials have been faster than expected, prompting a spokesman to boast that the company will beat AT&T into the LTE business by 12 to 18 months,” writes Computerworld’s Matt Hamblen.

“Verizon’s LTE field trials in Boston and Seattle have shown downlink average rates of 5 to 12 Mbps and of 2 to 5 Mbps, which will give mobile customers browsing speeds comparable to a typical wired home Internet experience, the company said,” Hamblin continues.
